Rural living in Amish country near Indiana PA and IUP in the village of Ambrose. Nearby Smicksburg has Amish farms and families. We are retired and enjoy company. You can do a self guided tour of the area or we could make suggestions. There is a private bedroom with private bath for 2, a single bedroom upstairs with shared bath, and a sofa bed/Futon, shown on the sun porch which also uses the shared bathroom. We tend to be ready for bed by 9 PM so early arrivals are appreciated.

Original country store with old store counter and drawers still in place. Your bedroom is downstairs with its own bath. A second bedroom upstairs has a single bed and shares a bath, and our sun-porch has a very comfortable futon fold out couch, (but is not very private).

Amish neighbors, local "Bent and Dent" grocery, restaurant within 3 miles. Close to IUP and Pittsburgh. Farming and forests make up the scenery. There are 3 original covered bridges within a few miles of the house and worth the visit.

Bob and Vera are so kind and made us feel very welcome. Their home is beautiful as is the area. Thank you, we had a great time!!

Michelle2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

Bob and Vera were great host. They were very friendly and accommodating. Bob is a great cook! We will have to go back to relax, this was a working trip. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. Those are important when you have been working all day. I definitely recommend you stay here if you are in the area.

Carole2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

I loved staying with Bob & Vera. They were very welcoming and patient. Their help finding their home when I got turned around and tired was immeasurable. Bob went way out of his way to may sure I could find my way around the area and take advantage of the local festivities. I felt like I was spending a holiday with family. Their home is historic, charming, warm, and maintained with care. I look forward to returning.

Don't hesitate to stay at the Old Country Store. Bob and his wife are absolutely wonderful. They made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. We had a wonderful experience for our first Airbnb stay. Thanks Again!

Judy2017-02-04T00:00:00Z

I was sad that our two days at Bob's passed so quickly! The hosts, Bob and Vera, are such lovely people with deep local roots and lots of insight into the area. Their home is wonderfully comfortable and inviting. Bob was really great about communicating in advance of our trip and, although the place is a little off the beaten track it was easy to find. You can't go wrong choosing this home for your stay and you might walk away feeling like you've made some new friends!

Christine2016-09-13T00:00:00Z

Bob and Vera are wonderful hosts and their unique home is in a beautiful, quiet setting in the country about 20 minutes away from Indiana, PA. My daughter and I stayed for three nights while on a Genealogy Trip researching ancestors who settled in the area. Bob and Vera made us feel very comfortable and we had great conversations and laughs and even enjoyed Bob's band play on Thursday night, which was a real treat. Meeting hosts like Bob and Vera is what makes airbnb a great way to travel.

Located in the heart of Indiana this 5 bedroom 3 bath home is a great place to stay if you are visiting Indiana or IUP. I am the owner and will stay in the guest bedroom and will be there to basically sleep and to make sure everything is ok.

Wow! Mary Anne's place was amazing! Each room was beautifully decorated, well-kept, and clean. The house sits in an ideal location to many amenities in Indiana. This would be a great place for couples, families, and groups of friends traveling together. If you are coming to visit for any college related activities, this is the place to stay! Mary Anne was there to welcome us upon arrival and gave us a tour. She was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Overall, this was a great stay and we look forward to a return trip.

Meredith2017-02-02T00:00:00Z

GORGEOUS house and fantastic location! Mary Anne's home is warm and welcoming. Very cozy!

Jennifer2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 98 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Kris Fay2017-02-03T00:00:00Z

Mary Anne is a great host and her home is beyond beautiful. I had the opportunity to stay here during the 10th anniversary of my college sorority line where we all traveled to do community service at a near women's shelter. I traveled from California and was so tired, my trip totally took a positive shift once I entered Mary Anne's home. It was like a mini spa resort. If you are in the area and in need of a place, I highly recommend staying here. Its perfectly located near downtown Indiana. <3

The Brown Hotel is a staple of Downtown Indiana. The first floor is a Live Music Venue, and BYOB Lounge. Kitchen is only open during shows, but will cater to AirBnB guests.
The Brown Hotel is in the heart of Downtown with Off-Street Parking. Nightlife, Dining, Shopping, and other forms of entertainment and culture is all within easy walking distance.
We note that The Brown is great for kids. Just keep in mind, when we do have shows, it is a noise distraction in the hotel.

This two bedroom home is a great getaway spot for couples or families. It is located on a quiet street and is a few blocks from IUP campus--great for a college visit! It is a family home with character.

This home features two bedrooms and a pull-out couch and can easily sleep six. A pong-pong/air hockey table is featured in the family room, and a full kitchen with dishwasher is provided for your use. There is also an extensive movie collection of over 800 DVDs, a Wii U with four remotes, Netflix, and a cabinet full of board games for your enjoyment while staying here.

The home is located on a quiet residential street. It is within walking distance of the IUP campus, but is a family neighborhood. Restaurants are two minutes away, and there is easy access to grocery stores and a mall. Several restaurants deliver to the home. A playground located at the local elementary school is a half a block away and includes play equipment, basketball hoops, and a large, safe area for bike riding. The Hoodlebug walking/bike trail has an entry point five minutes away via car.

We were warmly welcomed by Dorah and the cozy house was just perfect for our small family. It did feel like we were in someone's home (this is a lived-in house, not a empty rental) and that was just fine with us as we tried to respect it accordingly. Check in/out was easy and host was flexible. Everything was tidy and our host was extremely responsive when needed about a few questions (WIFI code, air conditioning). It was helpful to use the washer and dryer. Host let us use some "incredible" coffee my husband raved about. It was nice to have breakfast on the back porch. Our young son enjoyed a few of the kid-friendly toys. We didn't really explore the area as we were there just for a fast pitch softball tournament, eating, and sleeping. House was on a quiet, residential street which made for a good night's rest. This was better than a hotel as we could cook and prepare meals for a hungry softball player and family. Thank you so much Dorah!

Devon2015-06-07T00:00:00Z

This is a cute little home... it's small but not particularly cramped and it's cute and well appointed. I stayed here because of a death in my family and dorah accommodated my needs on very short notice. I have very small kids who wanted to play with all her little nick nacks but it was easy enough to get them out of the way--a kid between 7-12 would be delighted by all the pre-built cool lego sets, and Harry potter memorabilia. We found dorah and the homes flexibility to be particularly useful as in a new place my kids all wanted to sleep in one room.

We stayed at Dorah's house for IUP homecoming. The location was an easy walk from downtown. Dorah was out of town the weekend we stayed but her father who was very nice brought us the keys and let us in right when we arrived. The house was clean and she provided everything we could have needed.

Michelle2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

Cozy clean home.?great gathering spot between graduation activities. Much easier to socialize with family than when staying in hotel rooms.

Joan2016-05-09T00:00:00Z

Dorah was a great host! Her home is very well kept and in a lovely area of Indiana. The accommodations were very comfortable. The only downside was that the air conditioning wasn't yet installed and we happened to arrive on a very hot day (first of the season). Dorah did apologize and made sure we had plenty of fans to keep cool. Otherwise, the description was spot on. She also gave us some great recommendations for places to check out. We're so glad she pointed out some new places that we hadn't tried yet.

Manda2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

Dorah's house worked out great! She met us at the house to give us keys and show us around (and give us some recommendations for dinner). House was located close to town, a quick drive or nice walk to the the downtown area.

Best location next to IUP for students or visitors. Private studio for one person with private bathroom and kitchenette. Other amenities in building include fitness center, bike storage, laundry, parking. The room is in a building with other studios that have all been converted from previous dorm rooms. Please note that the bedding, rug, and poster may differ from the photo. We have several rooms available and use multiple color schemes and decorations.

The room was very clean and unbeatable in terms of access to the IUP campus! The hosts were also very communicative, helpful, and flexible with arrival times. However, it is a student housing building, so it was very noisy late into the night (on a Friday). It's also a pretty basic dorm room setting for this reason, which was fine for me but definitely something to note. The shower faucet also didn't turn all the way to hot, for some reason.

Casey2017-02-18T00:00:00Z

I had a really great experience here, the staff were helpful and friendly, the accommodations were comfortable and everything was simply easy to deal with. Thank you!

Located eight miles from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, half an hour from Amish country and a 60-minute drive from Pittsburgh, this space provides a quiet retreat on 8 private acres.

The open floor plan of the main level has views of a mature Christmas tree farm complete with miles of walking trails. The lower level has a second living area and secondary kitchen. Each level has its own bathroom. Two lofts provide spectacular views of the property and more sleeping space.

You will genuinely have the privilege of being away from the noise of daily life, while only being a short drive to restaurants, tourist attractions and Indiana University of Pennsylvania

The house was great. Location was awesome. It sits high up on hills and the views are amazing. Plenty of space for 6 of us. Also great communication. Yes the road to get to house seems a little interesting but no worries trust me we easily drove up and down hill in a 12 passenger van with no issues. Would stay again

In the heart of downtown Punsxutawney. Close to public transportation, parks, restaurants, theater, Weather DiscoveryCenter, Historical Society, Civic Center-home of Punxsutawney's World-known Weather Prognosticator/Groundhog, Phil, daily tour guide to Gobbler's Knob. You’ll love my place because of the coziness, the comfy beds, the high ceilings and cafe. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), big groups, and furry friends (pets).

Historical building built in 1895 and restored in 1975 with additional restoration in 2010. All safety codes in place for the protection of guests. Other rooms of various sizes and accommodations available.

George was a very generous host. He was there to greet me when I arrived (even though I arrived around 8pm) and he was very good about showing me around the place. Crimson Village is located in a great historic building in downtown Punx. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, although the lack of windows (all rooms face a central hallway and have no windows to the outside) made it difficult to wake up in the morning. ...I felt a bit like I was hibernating (like the town's famous groundhog). ...There is a nice kitchen in Crimson village, but if you plan to use it you must bring all of your own cookware and utensils. All in all a clean and comfortable stay.

Nicholas2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

George was great. He was so nice and helpful when I arrived and gave me great information about the area. The room is comfortable and very clean. George even has some snacks and beverages in the room for you. The building is right on the main street and just a couple of blocks from the library where Punxy Phil is.

Michelle2016-11-29T00:00:00Z

The room was great for the value. The room was large and had it'€ own bathroom and shower. The room isn't the cleanest, but the issues are very minor (spots on the rug, little bit dusty). The host, George is excellent, he is great to talk to and gives insightful history around the area. For cheap, quick, and yummy breakfast, George has a small cafe of coffee and pastries on the ground floor. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here! My only regret is not having more time to explore the time!

Donnel2017-05-27T00:00:00Z

George is a great host. My husband, pups and I had a good night's sleep after a very long drive yesterday. We also really appreciated the small touches, especially the complementary water and snacks. Only note is that the shower has a decent spray, but not enough water was coming through. Not a huge issue. Everything else was good, the accommodations were a great value and we thank George for taking us in and meeting us in person so late last night.

You have to stay here!!!! Melissa and Phil were hands down the BEST hosts I've ever had. I brought my dog and she left me a little note and some dog goodies. She paid attention to detail and was very thoughtful. I got in really late and Melissa called to make sure I got there safe and could get into the apartment. Bonus they had a crate in the closet. I loved the interior design. It was so cozy and a great location! The visitor guide is helpful too. Thank you!

Melissa + Phil's place was so lovely. I got in very late, and was leaving early in the am driving cross country, and it was exactly what I needed for a good, restful sleep, + a hot shower The bathroom + kitchen were well-equipped for a longer stay, and they even left snicker-doodles out for me!! Melissa + Phil were very helpful, even so late, when I couldn't find the drive (it is a bit secluded- but her directions are totally fine.) The bed was lovely, couch super soft. Lots of nice cozy lamps, great furniture. AC in 2 rooms + ceiling fans for hot summer, there was even a mint on my pillow when I arrived!! I'll definitely be back next time I drive across country. :) Thank you!!

Lori2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

This apartment was extremely cute and very homey. The way Melissa and Phil decorated it, was so lovely. At first I was a little upset that I didn't notice there was cable or wifi before we booked (being 21 it seemed to be important to me), but my boyfriend and I had a blast! They had a few games that we played, and dvds to watch as well!! It was very relaxing and close enough anything you would need. I highly recommend this apartment and Melissa and Phil!!
